Oh god, this is so terrifying.

This is beautiful and really sad.

This is sheer awesome. I've never read anything like this before, but it's excellent. The background characters tend to get ignored, or they don't matter. Very few people even stop to think about them and how they feel, but you did and you did it well. I love how she blames/doesn't blame Harry. My eyes are teary, this is so sad.

And the ending... just perfect. Perfect.

Well written, vivid imagery. An indepth understanding of people and their reactions to the life they find themselves living.

This is so beautiful, in such a devistatingly sad way. I love how you make us feel for this girl when nobody else will, to the point where you make us wish that somebody would notice her and her grief and save her in time, though the attempt would be futile. The fact that you never disclosed her name was a very skillful technique, and I simply adored the, albeit depressing, contrast between her monologue and the scene with the Golden Trio.

Kristen at the end was stunning, and that was probably what did it in for me - the fact that she remembered this girl when nobody else would. Even if they hadn't been really great friends, it means a lot.

A very well constructed emotional piece. Your writing is amazing, borderline poetic in the comparisons and small facts you disclosed, especially in the way that the girl talked about her father, his faded jeans and his smoking habit. Unlike other readers, however, I didn't confuse her for anybody else. You made that clear, in the tone and the characterisation, and you drew me in right away.

All in all, this is a fantastic oneshot. Despite its sad content, I actually really enjoyed the freshness of it, and how it's so different to all of the other OC stories out there. You're a brilliant writer, the message was clear and it read extremely well.

You know what? At first I thought it was Hermione. I was like, HERMIONE! HERMIONE! She can't die! Then I thought it was Cho Chang, because she cared for Cedric so. But then, Asian looking girls can't have European parents can they? So I assume she's an imaginary character?

It was so sad. I mean, you did a really good job of contrasting the "Golden Trio" with this girl. : ) I love it.

aw so sad! but i really really liked it, I got tears in my eyes at the end. Honestly i loved it though.

This is good... All I can say is wow. Like, completely amazing. It's really quite good. It's about two over here, so if I can't string more than three words together, I apologize.

I loved the story, I loved the shift from dark to laughter then back.

Though, seeing the name Kristen was a start... since my name is Kristen. Thankfully you didn't kill her.

so sad... but beautifully written.

Fantastic fic. It's very intense and emotional. The shift from the girl to Harry,Ron and Hermione laughing was startling and effective in your overall message. This was a fic that definitely stayed with me for awhile afterwards. Great writing!

Whoa. That was...intense. I loved how it was so *tight,* no rambly unnecessary stuff, just all raw emotion...something I suck at. And hasn't everyone felt totally unnoticed and alone at least once in their life? Even if not as drastically as this little girl...

wow.. this was... powerful. i feel so sad for the girl.

This is so amazing! So unlike anything that anyone writes, but fantastic. I don't even know what to say.

ANGST! Really nice though. HAH! I didn't draw out the really! HAH! Crap.

Damn. People need to write more things like that. That was so good.
